A Snapshot of Me!
If we haven't met… the name given to me at birth is Matthew Lewis. I love baseball, sun, snow, my family, and the Lord! (many more things, those just came to my mind right now) &&& not in that order…. I am an artist with a flair and strong intuition for development. I love playing music!
Why this all matters here? I don't believe it is right any more that we separate ourselves out. Here is my job, this is who I am (Can you see the plaid suits?) Years ago- I was a Creative Director in The Great Concrete Wonderland (Bay Area, CA), leading creative development for a local advertising agency. I think up until that time… even now- I am my work- "We work in our life that is who I am"… my father was raised in the 50's… that is how we would identify ourselves back then. Have you ever met someone for the first time, "What do you do?" -normally the first question, right? Shouldn't we really say, "Who are you?"… I imagine it would bring about some weird facial expressions, and some barely recognizable stuttering speech. That's okay- it is hard for us to identify with who we are. I am uncomfortable too! I believe we are more than our jobs at the time (CONVERGENCE)- you, me, the other guy or gal… So here goes-
I am 40 (i think)… I am starting to forget the years… I would like to think I am growing young again- what use is it to keep track? I follow Jesus and I love Him with all my heart, soul, and mind on my good days! If you don't know Him, that's fine… You are still okay in my book- because He loves you and my deepest yearnings are to be more like Him! I am not into convincing any one of anything and I don't peddle my faith… I hold it sacred, it is worth more to me :: See the used car salesman on the corner lot if you need something pushed on you. Truth is better than words can ever describe. I love artists, business people, freaks, musicians, homosexuals, lesbians, republicans, democrats, drunks, drug addicts, mild mannered old ladies, and even carnies… I am just as messed up as the next guy but somehow I am being made pure. I don't see that all religions will eventually come together… Al-la can never be Jehovah… But I love the Muslims too! Religion- that word… who needs it anyway. The Lies of Religion have crippled the church. I don't ever want to accept lies as truth- but your truth is how you live it, mine is mine, -there are so many truths to learn!
So… The Lord anointed me with the ministry of "Intercession" around nine months ago. I asked Him the night before- "Lord- do you really want this from me right now?" Rockets, Baby… The whole night while I slept I was really there with Him!!! A carefully planted trail of three extremely vivid dreams. Add this new thing my other stuff- I kinda look like this (today- I am open that it might change… again:)

::: Son of the Most High- The Mighty King is my Dad!!! Being with Him is my most important thing. Next… Husband- my wife is totally hot. Father- honored to have Two Amazing Daughters who always make me laugh (13 and another almost 2). After this the order of priorities can bounce around a little bit… I am okay with that. I clean the place where my community gathers to worship, encourage, and love on each other once a week- praying most of the time. I design and develop web sites- marketing- I love small businesses because I am fond of seeing big dreams become bigger realities… but I have worked with some of the biggest and best over my years in commercial art and design (I won't name drop right now). I am really good at photography, and reproducing images… printing… shooting… All of that I have fun with… and I am laughing because somehow me defined still comes down to what I do… working on it! :::
In this space (matthewtlewis.com)… any of that can come out at anytime. I love structure, but I love freedom to move as much if not more!

Love,
